Another diificulty has been in anchoring the base so that the stovefcould withstand high winds which are usually prevalent in orange grooves during periods of low temperature. This difficulty of anchorage has and refill them in place.

What I claim is:

In an orchard heating stove comprising a base, a flue section and a fuel burning sec tion supported by the base, means for detachably mounting the fuel burning section on the base, a plurality of tongues formed in the wall of the fuel burning section, said tongues being bent inwardly and then bent outwardly and downwardly to engage the wall of the fuel burning section to form grate supporting lugs, and a grate resting on the lugs.
